It's specific in the 313mm 'claim' so better damn well be! It was the only 2 door I could find in that wheelbase so could be wrong I suppose but that's what's listed on the bay so presumably if it's incorrect i've a fair claim to a refund! We'll see when it turns, hopefully before Christmas😬

Ordered this one last night; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313mm-Army-Open-Door-Car-Body-Shell-Parts-for-Wrangler-1-10-Jeep-SCX10-RC-Truck/383058186976?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I've been following flex, rocks and rollovers on Insta, some amazing trucks on there feed. (Hope you can see that). We'll practice on the one I bought last night and see how the quality is; might try my hand at brazing again! Last few attempts weren't great I have to admit!

Welcome👍

Thanks, just finalising the purchase. Unfortunately (for me) he's told me he wants to do the whole 'build' by himself:( I may have to get two!!

You're going to love those tyres👍 On the body, is that the 313mm hard top just chopped with a seperate roll cage fitted? My son's desperate for a Wrangler!

Looks great [emoji106] Think the td5 came out in 98 though? I've been looking for a 1:1 for ages but they're all mega money [emoji1787] Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

You can still get some wheel speed out of a 'c' channel but a tuber would be better, albeit undoubtedly more expensive. AliExpress has some good clone options Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I've never run a fan on a motor before so can't help there sorry. Perhaps get a temperature probe and check after 10 mins?

Brave work mate, can't wait for the next installment

No idea but it's the right size and good turn count for your needs. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I was wrong, those are 90mm and 100mm I think. I used #5862 in mine which are 85mm on the front and 100mm in the rear. I made a small plate for the rear and the fronts were perfect fit. Two pictures so you can see the ride height with the #5862 shocks. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Pretty sure it's these Steve; i'll measure tonight and let you know for sure. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traxxas-Rustler-Slash-XL-5-VXL-Complete-set-Ultra-Shocks-Front-Rear-w-screws/283307294444?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It's either that (SCX) now or a winter self build project. Toying with the idea of a 3d printer so can fab my own bits....

Looks great @Steve Wharton, very nice touches. Driveshaft? If you need it to handle better then Traxxas big bores work a treat, are reatively cheap and are so smooth; night and day difference👍

Scrap that, can buy a 1/10 for the price of a Kyosho mini!!!! Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

I'll take it Gaz; PM incoming;)

Not really that much @Rubblechops. Post a link with what you're thinking of getting;)

Watched that one earlier in the video section; looks good

Scary money!

I'm going to wait at least another day!:

Dont think so, unless one side is 90 degrees to t'other. You can just use 2x 4mm link ends and some 4mm threaded rod between them though;) Might require a little trimming of the link ends to shorten them but it's what you're after I think.

Brilliant; you've got enough power there for a weekend!👍

Think I might take a look at raising the rear upper links up above the axle; there's lots of 3D stuff available so will venture that way shortly as it should be inexpensive. Can't do a great deal at the front as the uppers would rub on the drive shaft. Going to have to see about flipping the axle; might help but will probably try the rears first given it's going to be way easier! Thanks for your input Gents, appreciated.
